The hormones aren't native to the person

And therefore are artificial. Take them away and what happens? Secondary sex characteristics return to their baseline…. Mostly.

I provided you with my definition of biological sex. If you are so interested in continuing this discussion the least you could do is provide your definition as I requested.

how would giving you the function go a credit card not make you a credit card?

I would still be a human, because changing one part does not change the whole.

If you have the outcome of male attributes, you are in effect a male.

A poor argument given that FTM cannot get real testes, again being artificially mimicked at best.

The primary sex characteristics, that you seem so fond of, can be removed.

But not functionally replicated by artificial means. Also I haven’t based my definition of sex, or argument against sex change being possible, on primary sex characteristics.

You do seem fond of this ‘counter argument’ though. Shame its not counter to anything I have said.

I have only stated that changing secondary sex characteristics is not sufficient to change a persons sex.

Biological sex, as determined by a number of factors during development, is unchanging. Gender however can be changed.

Im surprised I have to repeat that at this point.
